Robin Verduijn commented on XERCESJ-1689:
-----------------------------------------
Perhaps another solution would be to take the {{org.w3c.dom.*}} classes out of
xercesImpl.jar and put them in a separate xercesImpl-deps.jar, then uploading a
new xercesImpl.jar with a .pom file declaring a dependency on that? Done that
way, people can use Gradle or Maven dependency management to exclude that
transitive dependency and just get the now non-split xercesImpl.jar without
those core JDK classes.
Alternatively, perhaps 2 separate jars could be published: a xercesImpl.jar as
it is now, and a xercesImpl-nodeps.jar that does not contain any
{{org.w3c.dom.*}} classes. Or vice versa, a xercesImpl.jar (with bumped
version) containing no {{org.w3c.dom.*}} classes, and a xercesImpl-deps.jar
that would be identical to the current 2.12.0 xercesImpl (but with a bumped
version number).

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1689
> Project: Xerces2-J
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: DOM (HTML)
> Affects Versions: 2.11.0
> Reporter: Otmar Humbel
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.12.0
>
>
> The interface {{org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDOMImplementation}} is part of the JDK
> since Java {{1.7}}.
> Java 1.7 has been EOL 'ed since a long time.
> Is there any reason to keep this interface in {{xercesImpl.jar}}? It
> produces a split package:
> {{xerces-2_11_0: jdeps --jdk-internals -cp ./xercesImpl.jar}}
> {{split package: org.w3c.dom.html [jrt:/jdk.xml.dom, ./xercesImpl.jar]}}
> which prevents people from using modules in Java {{>= 9}}.
